Death notice for the town of: Moncton, Province: Nouveau-Brunswick
Emile will be greatly missed. A great guy to sit and chat with and to welcome new younger vanners into the vanning community. His passing is a true loss to Maritime Van Council and all the clubs involved. Death is never final until someone’s name is uttered for the last time, and I think Emile will continue to live on at Van-in ‘s in the maritimes for a long time to come.Rest in peace my friend.
